1. Review and Motivation
“Today we’re about to proceed in our next

lesson but before we dig inside, we are going
have an activity, and this activity will serve as
a recap about our recent topics and a clue for
our today’s lesson.”
“Are you in?!”
“Yes Ma’am!”
When I asked you, “Are you in?!” you are
going to shout “We are In!”
Again. Are you in?!
“We are in!”
“Alright. Listen to my instructions because I

will tell it once.”
“First I’ll group you into four.”
“If you notice there is a cartolina at the centre

containing questions that are related to our
recent topics and there are four boxes too.
Actually those boxes contain the answers that
correspond to those questions in cartolina. All
you have to do is to get the answers inside the
box one by one, one question-one member.
The first member will run toward the box to
get the answer in the first question and he/she
will paste it in his/her chest and afterwards
he/she must return in the group and snap the
hand of another group mate to get the answer
of the second question and will paste it in
his/her chest too, and so on, until you
complete the ten questions. In a group there
are 12 or 11 members, so one or two members
will remain, those members will be the
picker/s. After completing the ten questions
the picker/s must immediately get the bag that
contains puzzle pieces, and the group should
form and arrange the puzzle. When you are
done with the tasks, you will shout your
buzzer.”
And these are your buzzer for each group:
Group 1 - Uno
Group 2 - dos
Group 3 - tres
Group 4 – kuwatro
